Come and see what Year 2 have been up to!

Monthly Archives: October 2013

In our Topic work we had found some sycamore leaves in the forest. In Science we investigated what made them spin. We made some paper helicopters and tested them outside. We made big ones and small ones. We put paperclips on them so they were heavier otherwise they just blew away. We thought the little ones spun faster.

We have been working hard at trying new games and playing nicely with our friends at lunchtime. Today the children were challenged to see if they could play with someone new, either as a pair or letting someone new join a game they were playing. These girls did just that. Fantastic! Keep up the good work Narnia!

This week we have been learning about healthy foods. We made pizzas using wholemeal pitta and then added a selection of healthy toppings. We talked about the different food groups and talked about which are the most important to keep us healthy. There was some disappointment at chocolate not being the most important food group – and that was just Miss Sharpe!

We have been learning about taking away. We went outside and drew a large number line with chalk. Then we listened to a sum and jumped along the line to reach the answer.
Next week we are going to use what we have learnt about adding and taking away to solve some spooky Halloween puzzles!

This week we have been learning about our senses. We went into the forest and used our sense of touch to find things with different textures. We found bendy twigs, smooth leaves, spongy lichen, squashy berries and this rough (and heavy!) log.
